I was thinking, since trumad was nice enough to point out to me how Bonds and James had so much common, I thought it only right that we alter James name to reflect that fact..
LeBonds is the best I can come up with on such short notice. However, if anyone has a better name for Miami's arrogant carpetbagger, please feel free...I'm open to suggestions.
And congrats to LeBonds on winning his 3rd MVP award. Now, he only has 4 more to go in order to match his idol..

ETA: James doesn't seem to be nearly the arrogant prick that Barroid was, either.
Upton
(9,709 posts)otherwise, the comparison, even without trumad's encouragement, is valid. Arrogance, great regular seasons and MVP wins, choking in the playoffs (though Bonds eventually threw that off in 2002) etc.....enough's there.. Certainly enough for me..and really, that's all that matters..

The only comparison is that they both left mid-west rust belt cities after assisting those teams to winning seasons.

(41,692 posts)You called LeBron a Carpetbagger for leaving Cleveland and going to Miami.
I simply said that Bonds did the same thing when he left Pittsburgh and went to the Giants----for a big contract.
See how you are---- For years you and Cboy fought us tooth and nail with your denial that Bonds juiced.
It was your trademark back in the day.
Oh but now--- you throw him under the bus as if nothing happened.
Your hero Bonds was a fucking cheater and you stuck up for him---live with it.
PS: Shouldn't you off the couch fighting Rad Fems or something.
Upton
(9,709 posts)you're the one who made the comparison. And you know what?...The more I thought about it, the more I realized how correct my great friend trumad really was. Bonds and James are very much alike.
You've now got your own Barry Bonds baggage in the form of LeBron James...live with it.
madinmaryland
(64,934 posts)and each other.
trumad
(41,692 posts)What happen to you? You were Barry's number one fan---fighting non-stop with what you called back in the day---Haters.
You and Cboy---which I always thought was your sock puppet or vise versa------ defending Barry at every turn.
Numerous threads---the two of you posting seconds apart expressing your love for Mr. Barry Bonds.
Ahhhh but that was a couple of years ago and your new passion is Rad Fems.... Those pushy smart women---- you know---those women who remind you of all the women who rejected you---hundreds if not thousands--- you screaming at them---I am not hideous---I am not an animal...I am a Barry Bonds fan---you cannot reject me.
Is that what started your hatred of the penis-less humans?
Were you beaten as a child by a women in black garters with a black hood and a red ball in her mouth?
What caused you to be this way?
Now like I said---Go back into the Neanderthal group and cuddle with your fellow poor whittle misunderstood Boys.
Upton
(9,709 posts)but you know where you can hook up with your great leader. Don't be bashful now..I think she's lonely..
Hey, now that I have your attention, there's been something I've been meaning to ask....why are you starting threads claiming you go around beating up bullies and you're 6' 4" and 230 lbs?
I mean, outside of the obvious small man's complex keys, I've seen your picture, you were featured prominently in the old DU gallery, and I suppose I could be interpreting it incorrectly, but it's my considered opinion that if you're well over 6 feet, then so was Eddie Cicotte..
trumad
(41,692 posts)And thruth be told...more like 240.
But hey.... better to beat up bullies than cry about how teh woman is oppressing you.
Hunting for my picture... fucking creepy dude.
Upton
(9,709 posts)in thread I was referring to you, you claim to be 6' 3"...so I did you favor and went and calculated your BMI according to the numbers you provided. You'll be happy to know you're at 30.0, which means you're now officially obese..perhaps you ought to give some thought to fudging those numbers just a little bit more..

http://election.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=671108
Now go check that thread and grovel back here with the correct number.
As far as being obese---hey your hero was 6:2---230 pounds... why don't you do his BMI.
Oh that's right---he had fake muscles.
So let me get this straight---on your spare time you seek out pictures of me and you're doing my BMI.
As I said above....you are one creepy dude.
Upton
(9,709 posts)why did you place it in the DU gallery? I don't see El Supremo coming around whining because someone looked at the images he posted of himself when he was visiting Gettysburg over whatever that battle site was. Talk about manning up..heck, in your case, it's still about growing up..
trumad
(41,692 posts)I look quite handsome standing next to my daughter.
But really---you searching the nets for a pic of me and doing my BMI....
Dude---I'll say it again.... you're creepy as shit.
Now---go back to the Boys group and bitch about the Rad Fem's who are stealing your Cheetos.
Upton
(9,709 posts)I'll ask again, if you don't wish your info commented on...why post it?
As you know, I originally questioned the veracity of your figures. So, you're going to have to make a decision. Either you can stick with your claim of 6' 2" 230, which comes loaded with a BMI right on the edge of obesity (0.5 away).. Or you can admit I was correct, and alter the numbers again in order to portray yourself in a more positive light....
It's up to you. I'm willing to actually accept your final word on your height and weight and then respond accordingly. Though, admittedly, I have a hard time picturing a man on the precipice of obesity chasing down and beating up bullies, but I've gotten used to your posts over the years, and there are certain elements I've come to expect...and once again, you sure haven't disappointed.
As I've mentioned on several occasions, I find you highly entertaining. Not quite on the same level as your now exiled great leader, but sort of a mini version..
Thanks trumad..
trumad
(41,692 posts)Then 6:3....and now 6:2.
Your dumb obsession with my picture and BMI is really creeping me out.
You did fail to answer my question about your attacks on the female species.
Were you beaten as a child by your Mother....are you currently geting beaten by a female----wife? No scratch that.... you married ever...Rotflmao.
It could be your Mother...since you still live with her.
Now your obsession with another dudes BMI.
Wow.... God help your fellow employees in the sub shop.
Upton
(9,709 posts)proof of which is provided right here:
http://election.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=671108
Perhaps it's my imagination, but it appears you're getting a might testy. I guess I can understand. I mean, carrying around a BMI of 29.5 along with your LeBonds baggage must be quite a weight to bear..
Listen man, in all seriousness, if your figures are actually truthful, you might think about getting a little exercise..as opposed to playing BMODU all day. Really.
trumad
(41,692 posts)Finally you have he right numbers.
You're creeping me out dude.
Upton
(9,709 posts)See, no matter what I may think of the content of your posts, I consider you an integral part of the Sports group. For you really are very much like a mini version of your great leader..that individual, for all her many faults, brought page views to Meta and DU as a whole... you bring activity, such as it is, to Sports, albeit on a minor (mini version) level.
So, since I have an interest in the long term viability of this particular group, I'm concerned about your health. The ideal weight for a white male of 6' 2" is anywhere from 171-209. As you can see, you're well above the accepted maximum for your height. Now, I'm just a touch bit shorter than you, but I'm well within the stated parameters..and I'm close enough to your height, so that if I go and pick up a big bag of dog food from right over in the kitchen, I can pretty much tell what those excess pounds feel like.
All I'm suggesting is you watch what you eat and get on some kind of work out program. Simple solutions you would think, but then the epidemic of obesity in this country says otherwise. If you believe all that's creepy....whatever.

Do they know you're this creepy in the Boy's forum?
Upton
(9,709 posts)just think, all is not lost... you actually do have a useful purpose after all..
Anyway, I went over and checked on the thread you started just over a week ago running down the Men's group. In a period of roughly just over 170 hours, it has 11,729 views, 433 replies, but only 18 recs..one of whom is your now dear departed great leader..
I'm a fair man trumad, and I must admit..that's some overwhelming support...

Who made your existence with women so miserable?
Upton
(9,709 posts)I'm sorry if it seems like I'm dwelling solely on the negative, but there is more to life than having kids and eating Big Macs, So, I have some advice. You might give some thought to serving, not just part time, but as an exclusive full time conduit for the thoughts of your great leader..as opposed to thinking for yourself that is.
This will aid you in at least two ways. First, though extreme and misguided, the thoughts expressed by your great leader at least demonstrate clarity and purpose.. Second, the whispers of cerebral cortex damage are sure do die down some, at least temporarily..
I realize it's all about maintaining whatever image you believe you've cultivated here at DU. So, in the spirit of friendship, I'm willing to do my best to help.
trumad
(41,692 posts)You went all Cboy on me after I called you and your Buds out in the Men's Group.
I clearly touched a nerve when I did that--- a deep seated nerve that has haunted you for years.
You know you can talk to us here in the Sports group... We don't Whhhaaaa Whhhaaaa about those mean old Feminists.
Look--- if it was Mom---and if it still is Mom that is causing your rage.... we can help.
We can provide safe shelter locations.... Names of Psychiatrists, --- or an intervention to remove you from your Mom's basement.
It will take time but I believe you will begin to heal and finally be able to appreciate just how wonderful strong minded, independent women can be.
Then again---you may not want our help and will continue to splash around in your feces of self pity.
Take that step Cboy/Upton... you can do it.... I know you can.
With Love,
Trumad.
Upton
(9,709 posts)Maybe short of funds and/or medical insurance? Aren't there agencies that can step in and fill that void? Perhaps you could even get a package deal..a neurologist, a psychiatrist and then to round out your day, a quick visit to a dietician.
trumad
(41,692 posts)We're supposed to be entertaining the others reading this thread and you're not doing very well.
Come up with a new plan or just go back to the Boy's club and bitch about humans without penises.
Upton
(9,709 posts)it's all about information. Continuing in that vein, lets look at your quote again..
We've done your BMI. You're on the edge of obesity, which even those in a strict stage of denial such as yourself, know and admit privately is detrimental to one's health. Then of course there are the obvious accompanying self esteem issues which ride shotgun with those suffering from weight problems.
Now, you may not be one of the latter, but to suggest being 30 lbs overweight at a minimum, is in any way "blessed" or a blessing, is not only deluding yourself, but you may actually be doing a disservice to those who may not know any better..
trumad
(41,692 posts)"We've"?
Uhhh---who is "we've... you and Cboy?
Upton
(9,709 posts)You didn't dispute the unflattering BMI figure, so I know full well you went and checked the calculation for yourself..
Some creepy online douchebag checks my errr BMI and I ran to do it myself...
Dude---you're fucking creepy as hell.

And I've never quite been convinced that the Cavs just happened to have their one ball come up in that year's lottery by pure chance.
So LeBonds abandoned his hometown team, with which he may well have been set up just to bring them a title, for the $$$$$$$$.

I'll have to do a quick reassessment of this Bonds/James comparison. I've now come to the conclusion that LeBonds is actually several magnitudes worse than Barry on the character scale..
Ar least in this case, Barry has now captured the moral high ground..
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)to play ball at Arizona State? I'm sure he was talented enough to go to Stanford or California.
Abandoning hometown arguments are ridiculous. I look forward to the day I can abandon my hometown.
On edit - In fact it was a difference of $5,000 that caused Bonds to pass on the SF Giants and go to ASU.
Really stupid smack talk by Cboy-Lite.
He calls LeBron a Carpetbagger. I merely point out that Bonds---(his hero) did the same thing when he left Pitt for San Fran.
Then Cboy-lite conflates that to calling LeBron, LeBonds---as they are the very same....notice how Cboy-lite throws his hero under the bus and acts like all those posts defending his steroid use, well---that never happened.
I of course nail him on his douchebaggery and he comes back with the creepiest shit the sports forum has ever seen.
Hunting down pictures of me---hitting web sites to measure my errrr BMI--- really weird shit.
He is by far the creepiest guy in this group and one with serious Mommy issues.

(41,692 posts)Upton
(9,709 posts)my Bonds/James comparison is primarily focusing on pro ball. A good analogy would be, say...if LeBonds had grown up in South Fla, then left, but returned to his hometown for his first big FA pay day, but we know that's not the case.
To put it simply, Bonds returned to his hometown while LeBonds abandoned his....
I'm becoming even more and more convinced that Bonds does indeed hold the moral high ground on this issue.
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)Abandoning home towns may be morally wrong to you (which makes me wonder why you no longer live in the Bay Area) but to me, it is something I couldn't care less about.
But to me, the principle is the same, leaving home to chase better opportunities which is what Bond feels that he did when he turned down the SF Giants offer to play ball at Arizona State(as well as passing on Bay Area schools if they offered him a scholarship).
However, I believe there were other factors at play for Bonds choosing to sign with SF. The size of the contract, it was more than the Yankees were willing to offer and way more than Pittsburgh was willing to offer. Also the Giants had other good players like Matt Williams. Would Bonds return to SF if they were broke and the laughingstock of the NL?
On edit - I'm hardly the spelling police but please note you keep saying "morale". It means something completely different than what you're trying to say. I'm not even sure a phrase "morale high ground" ever exists which is causing me to laugh.
Upton
(9,709 posts)and don't be overly concerned, I understand the difference between having "morals" and team "morale" for instance, but thanks anyway..

you can't really be sure. I've known a lot of guys of all ages who carry a little extra weight on their muscle. They might look "obese" but they can be just as quick and strong as anyone. I guess some day you may find out for yourself when one of them kicks your ass.
